First Elements 8 Installation optimization?

After a few years of use Adobe Elements '3', I decided to switch to '8' and I'm willing to install it now. I read a lot of information on the forums on various improvements and have learned much about the causes of my frustrations over the years.

I'm also just starting to use (learn) photoshop CS2 (Yes... behind a little). I used some other photo editing programs and has recently decided to try Photoshop since I bought sometimes back.

I will install on a machine that I dedicated exclusively to media and production editing. I wanted to have the opinion of experts from there to ensure that my installation is optimized before you start. Here are the specs of the system for the machine I want to use:

Led Precision 690 Dual Core Xeon 5150 proc, 4 GB of SDRAM DDR2 memory at 667 MHz, nVidia Quadro FX 4500, 512 MB dual VGA or DVI graphics.

Two hard drives, c: 250 GB SATA 3.0 Gb/s 7200 RPM w/8 MB DataBurst Cache and d: 500 GB SATA 3.0 Gb/s, 7200 RPM w/16 MB DataBurst Cache.

C1 - All hard drives no RAID for 1 or 2 hard drives SATA. The operating system is Windows XP Pro - Serv. PK 2

Currently the C: drive has 120 GB of space used and is has a few programs and a library of great music. D: drive is virtually empty with only 394 MB used.

Currently my virtual memory settings are: size of the file C: 2046-4092 D: has nothing put? I'm not sure whether or not should?

My goal would be to use what I have (hardware and software wise) currently and optimize the settings and installation for reliability and speed (if these two words can be used in the same sentence). What I can do before installing which could help overall I want to do now. Here are some of my questions:

  1. Should I install a first Elements 8 on the drive "C" or "D"?
  2. I all catches recorded and made made on the disk "D", because it is basically empty?
  3. From what I've read, the virtual for my system should be set at a maximum of 9092. Based on the 2 to 2.5 times the 4 GB of Ram. Is this correct?
  4. I leave the ' set the initial size to 2046.
  5. I should only ajdust these when I use this program and set them back in the case, or should I adjust them at the beginning and let them?
  6. I noticed that there is already an update for '8 '. I should download immediately or only if there is a problem?
  7. I install Photoshop CS2 on this machine at the same time. Y at - it no recommendation as to which one should be installed first?

Any comments will be greatly appreciated. I'm ready to be installed with both programs in a box sitting in front of me. I've removed all versions earlier and all cleaned up, it is all nice and sweet.

Thank you

Overall, you seem to be in good shape. While you certainly want to XP to SP3 and access to Windows Update/Custom to ensure that you have even the non-critical updates. Also, make sure you have the latest version of Quicktime.

1. Yes, you MUST install Premiere Elements on your C drive.

2. use your D drive to store your project files and media. In fact, I recommend that, for each project, you open a new folder on the D drive to your project file. This is, among other things, keep your zero and make files in a place it need so that, when the time comes to remove the project from your computer, you can erase all files associated with the project while deleting the folder.

Also check that your drive D is formatted NTFS and FAT32 not.

As for the rest of your questions:

I let the system set up virtual memory. There is no reason to put it manually on XP.

You should have no problem installing both Photohsop CS2 and elements on the same computer programs.

Finally, please refer to the right of this forum. The first several address issues and updates for first Elements 8.

    The research of these forums and doing a web search it seems like a common problem with no clear solution.

    You're right: I can't organizer of items of work from the Photoshop Elements welcome screen or the menu of Premiere Elements.  It must be something that equipping humble by the Setup program does not finish entirely, or another bug.

    I was able to get organizing items goes into the programs directory and click the .exe directly - C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Elements 11 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe

    I did a search in the registry for the organizer and found that, for this program, the "open" command is the link above - C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Elements 11 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe

    Under section Photoshop Elements under "start" line is different - slightlly "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Elements 11 Organizer\PseProxy.exe '-v '%1 '.

    I don't know enough about the registry commands to know if this is normal or not - just realised that they were different.

    I don't have the time to play with it and won't take the risk of messing things up.  I probably do not use the Organizer a lot anyway.  I was wondering what other features I find missing.

    The search for these forums, it seems that this error lasts for a few generations of product and is unusual.  I hope that Adobe puts some resources and efforts to fix this bug.

  • First Elements 10, installation of content themes, titles etc.

    I'm under element first Adobe 10 and that you have installed the full content of the themes, titles etc.

    I now have several times just after a project has been loaded, received the message, that only a small set of themes of instant film, titles etc are available despite all of the content is installed.

    It does not matter what project I opened.

    Departure to reinstall all the content ends with the message to uninstall the version already installed.

    It seems that the InstallShield Wizard detects the already installed content, but first Element 10 does not work.

    I have uninstall the content and install it again, and it works for awhile.

    I use following content files:

    PremiereElements_10_Content_ALL_LS15.exe

    My system is:

    Acer Aspire 7745 G Notebook

    Processor: Intel core i5 2.4 GHz

    Memory: 4 GB

    Running packages Zonealarm extreme security

    It seems to happen randomly, I can't see any pattern in it.

  • First elements 11 installation failure with the error on the shared technologies

    BEFORE the 11 installation with error failure "the installation process has encountered an error during the installation of the shared technologies. If please restart your system and try again"what is is to uninstall everything and I have to restart with the same error and we continue. So far the only way it works is to point the "error message" I run Task Manager and stop the installation program, I know it leaves the files that must be removed by the installer, but it worked. This information was acquired on one of the forums and it seems to work. Yesterday, it was the first time that I really used it fully, and even if I was able to create a project, I can't go out as a file (mi/gal), it starts out ok then throws an error and fails. As PREVIOUS 10 was still installed I imported the project (which surprised me) in PREVIOUS 10 and output as needed without error. This may be due to something being improperly installed or not installed in the PRE 11, I don't know. Can anyone help

  • First Elements 10 installation on Machine 64-bit Windows 7

    In the month of August, I bought the first 10 Elements (and PES 10 also) and install them on my existing Vista 32 bit computer.

    As of today, I replaced this computer with a much higher spec computer Windows 7 64 bit.  However, when I try to install PRE10 on the new computer, I am greeted with the error message that the installer does not support a 64 bit OS.  I install disc, I should load disk 2 if I should download the 64-bit version.

    I bought the download version and cannot find anywhere on the Adobe site to replace my 32-bit version with a 64-bit - but the reference to the 'disc 2' implies that my purchase either should have understood.

    Someone at - it ideas?  I wouldn't replace a piece of software only 3 months and a half old.

    FYI, the installed PSE10 first try without any problem.

    Thanks in advance,

    Bob

    Edited to add: just installed my copy of hearing CS6 as well without any problems - it seems only PRE10 which comes with an installer that does not work in 64-bit.

    ANY advice would be really appreciated.

    Thank you

    O'Briain you indicated that you had no other Adobe Creative previously installed software.  If this is the case there should be no previous installation of Adobe Application Manager.  Please use the Control Panel programs and features to ensure that all Adobe Creative Software are removed.

    You will then want to use the available CC cleaning tool to use CC Cleaner tool to resolve installation problems. CC, CS3 - CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html to ensure that all entries have been deleted.

  • Files accepted in first Elements 8

    I plan to get a Canon Rebel T2i camera that has video. It saves files in MOV whish uses H264 compression format. His are 3 frame rate, which I use 1920 x 1080, 30 p. First Elements 8 installation should import these files? I suspect that the compression ratio is large enough on the video of these cameras. Also easily burn these files on a Blu Ray disc to play on these drives? Thirdly the file 30 p can be converted down to HDV standard of archiving on tape with this format?

    Files in format MOV in general of a camera will present a challenge edition EP. This is not unique to the EP, but would be seen through much of the NLE (non-linear-editors) found on the market (this bridge in time).

    Bottom line is that you try to use the MOV files natively with PE will be difficult, if not impossible.

    (The NLE which deals with this in the future, will be a game changer, eventually everyone will have a still camera that shoots highly compressed video HD and want to easily change)...

    Review this section to B & H Photo, although not specific to your camera, he mentions the Canon Rebel, and it will give you a sense of the challenge with video cameras Image.

    http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/find/newsLetter/filmmakers-workflow.jsp

    You may be better served, conversion in a more favorable Format for editing, but then you have to deal with possible loss of quality or converted to the Format of the camera will export to.

    Probably not the answer you wanted to hear, but I'm sure others will chime in with a decent workflow to help you...

  • I d/l both photoshop and first elements 14 for 64-bit windows.  Installation is done in what concerns the extraction of files...

    I downloaded the Bundle Photoshop elements 14 and first elements 14 for 64-bit windows.  The installation gets as much as self-extracting files, giving me the opportunity to run or open the folder that contains the files, and then tells me to restart may be pending, so restart the computer and repeat the installation process. After that, it gets as much again and if I click on ignore after the r/s message, he stops and tells me to download a nonexistent program fromadobe to solve the problem.  He does this for items as well photoshop and first. Apparently I should call adobe during the hours of assistance.  I work during the opening hours. Records of installation of the GZ files which mean nothing to me.

    Desperately seeking help. Refund for downloaded software is impossible.

  • First reboot 13 elements during installation

    I tried to install the first instance first elements 13.  I tried 5 or 6 times, and each time the installer requires a reboot while trying to install the redistributable Microsoft Visual C++ 2012.  After the reboot, the installation does not complete, there is no icon, and if I try to run the installer I get an error message "Installer failed to initialize".

    First 13 items appear in the list "Uninstall a program" of the control panel.  But must I install the Application Manager to tell me that it can not uninstall the program.  If I run Adobe Creative cloud cleanser he sees first elements 13 and I can clean 13 elements successfullly, but anything that allows me to do is re run the installer, which still restarts at the same point.

    I even tried running system restore to reset the system from before I tried to install the first time.  I turn in circles here, and any help is appreciated.  As a user of Lightroom, I was hoping to try 13 items to see if I want to buy.

    Also note that I'm running on a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro (core i7) running Windows 8.1.  Thank you.

    have 89kraus you tried to reinstall the Microsoft Visual C++ package that is reported as damaged?  You can find the correct download to latest supported Visual C++ downloads.
